Punjab Times was established in year 2000 and is now in its 20th year of publication.

At present we have a combined circulation of 20,000 copies. In addition to the print edition, Punjab Times reaches several thousands of readers through its website and email subscriptions.

Our main readers are the Indian Americans of Punjabi ancestry who were born and brought up in India and later migrated to the US and still have very strong links with the country of their birth.

For the advertiser, reaching the Punjabi American community in the United States would get the maximum impact for each advertising dollar spent. The community is most affluent amongst Indian Americans. Many of them are successful businessmen and professionals, have good disposable income, love good life and are therefore, avid consumers of goods and services.
Most of the readers of Punjab Times have at least one university degree, watch Punjabi films and television shows and travel frequently to India.

Punjab Times caters to the reader’s hunger for news from Punjab in India as well as of the Punjabi community around the world. We have reporters covering major Punjabi events in the US.
The driving force behind Punjab Times is its editor Amolak Singh who has more than 34 years of experience in both Punjabi and English journalism. He has stellar academic credentials, with an MA, M Phil (Punjabi), and post graduate degrees in law and mass communication.

  1. I am regular reader of Punjab Times and very impressed by the quality of its contents. I consider this news paper as a big resource on Sikh history and Punjabi culture. Today I was searching history of about Kamaghatamaru and Gadari Babe, since a series of articles had published in it some time ago.
    Would request the Editor, if he could help me in searching these articles.

  2. I am very interested in your paper. It contains interesting and thoughtful articles about Sikh Religion and History. I would like to contribute some articles in future.

  3. ਮੈਂ ਬਲਜੀਤ ਬਾਸੀ ਜੀ ਲੇਖ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਕਈ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਠੀਕ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੜ੍ਹੇ ਜਾ ਰਹੇ, ਜੀ। ਧਿਆਨ ਦੇਣਾ ਜੀ, ਧੰਨਵਾਦ।

    It was very sad to know about the heavenly abode of S. Amolak Singh Jammu Ji. S. Amolak Singh Jammu ji was always very nice and courteous towards me. Though its been long time since I last talked to him but he will always be remembered as good friend, advisor, intelligent and intellectual person who was an expert, daring, straightforward and truthful journalist. I along with my wife Surjit express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and readers of Punjab Times USA.

  6. Hi,
    I want news on truck driver fraud. And I’m looking for articles that are based on fraud like in which company or partner didn’t pay money after driving truck from last 6 months. Please help me out.

  7. The Punjab Times is an exquisite Newspaper, a leader in its own category. I revered Amolak Singh Jammu, who in spite of his health issues, took this paper to the heights it is at today. But I must remind its readers the role of the talented and relentless force behind this phenomenon – Jaspreet Kaur. She took care of not only Mr. Amolak Singh, her husband, but kept his dream alive by working by his side day and night and sacrificing every minute of her life in keeping this -proud-of-Punjabis shining even in the most difficult days of her life. I love this paper!

  8. ਪੰਜਾਬ ਟਾਈਮਜ਼ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਮਨ ਭਾਂਦਾ ਅਖ਼ਬਾਰ ਹੈ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਲਗਿਆਂ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ads ਨਹੀਂ ਤੰਗ ਕਰਦੀਆਂ। ਪਰ ਇਕ ਗਲ ਦੀ ਕਮੀਂ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
    ਇਸ ਅਖ਼ਬਾਰ ਦਾ ਜਿਆਦਾ ਭਾਗ, ਦੂਜੀਆਂ ਅਖ਼ਬਾਰਾਂ ਜਾਂ ਰਸਾਲਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਲਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਖ਼ਬਰਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਹੀ ਆਨਲਾਇਨ ਅਖ਼ਬਾਰਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਲਈ ਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਜਾਂ ਰੇਡੀਓ ਤੇ ਸੁਣ ਲਈ ਦੀਆ ਹਨ। ਜੇ ਬਾਕੀ ਸਮਗਰੀ , ਲੇਖ, ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਰਚਨਾਵਾਂ ਵੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਅਖ਼ਬਾਰ ਜਾਂ ਰਸਾਲੇ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਨਕਲ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਮਿਲਣ ਤਾਂ ਨਵਾਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਨੂੰ ਬਹੁਤ ਘਟ ਹੀ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਥੇ ਗੁਰਦਵਾਰੇ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਇਹੀ ਚਰਚਾ ਹੈ, ਕਿ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਟਾਈਮਜ਼ ਤਾਜ਼ੀ ਸਮਗਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਛਾਪਦੀ।

    ਕੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੋਲ ਲੇਖਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਮੀ ਹੈ, ਸਮੇਂ ਦੀ ਘਾਟ ਹੈ, ਜਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਕਾਰਨ ਹੈ?

  9. Punjab Times is my favorite newspaper. Because most of other Punjabi newspapers are hard to read online, due to ads that overlap the readable material. Punjab Times deserves thanks.
    But there is one shortcoming. Most of the content in Punjab Times is copied from other daily newspapers and magazines.
    The news section is expected to be stale as it is a weekly newspaper. But the rest of the contents can be given new. Most of the articles, stories, film part etc. is second hand.
    Are there not enough writers who want to publish their material in the Punjab Times? Do you lack time? What is the reason?
    With apologies.
